Euphoria is the experience or effect of pleasure. It is also a symptom of certain neurological or neuropsychiatric disorders such as mania. Nothing escapes- Footy, Sex, Religion, Politics, Drugs, Pursuit of money at all costs, MAD (Mutually assured distruction), Nationalism.. All part of the human story.
lyrics
Oh Oh Euphoria
Oh Oh Dysphoria
Oh Oh Euphoria are you real or a trick of the light
Oh Oh Dysphoria, a rabbit in the headlights
When the goal is scored on the siren call
When your lovers sighs in the heat of the night
When the true believers win the election
When the rapture comes and your sent to heaven
When you score a deal down at the 7-11
When the Pentecostals start speakin’ in tongues
Chorus
When your shares rocket and there’s money in the pocket
When the country burns out of those returns
And you find that the water around you is slowly rising
When a love, turns into a mania
When the Americans sell, subs to Australia
And the Lady Of The Harbour becomes the jilted lover
Chorus
If your wavin’ a flag or singin’ an anthem
When you find that the truth, Is being held for ransom
When the words and the music and symbols just don’t ring true
When your country is crying for the songs of the dreaming
Where a river and tree hold sacred meaning
Songs that spring from the very ground, you came from
Chorus
Instrumental
What are the forces that drive us to genocide
Greed and denial, the shadows that lurk inside
And the big wheels just keep turning everyday
Oh Oh Euphoria are you real or a trick of the light
Oh Oh Dysphoria, a rabbit in the head lights
Oh Oh Euphoria a head full of dopamine
Oh Oh Dysphoria, a head full of pestacides
Oh Oh Euphoria
